Mine (formerly MineOS), the first autonomous privacy and risk management platform trusted by global enterprises, today announced the appointment of Ron De Jesus as Chief Trust Officer and Head of Privacy Strategy. With nearly two decades of privacy leadership across some of the world's most recognized brands, De Jesus brings a rare combination of operational depth, regulatory expertise, and public-facing credibility to a role purpose-built for a new era of enterprise privacy.

In this newly created position, De Jesus will be responsible for building and deepening trust with Mine prospects, customers, and the broader privacy community. He will develop and drive thought leadership initiatives that speak directly to the needs and concerns of privacy professionals, security leaders, and enterprise decision-makers. Beyond external engagement, De Jesus will shape Mine's privacy strategy narrative, serve as a senior advisor to customers navigating complex regulatory environments, and work cross-functionally to ensure that trust is embedded in every layer of the Mine platform experience.

In this newly created role, De Jesus will focus on turning trust from a talking point into a business outcome. That means developing thought leadership aimed squarely at the privacy and AI governance professionals navigating today's rapidly shifting regulatory landscape — and engaging directly with the regulators and lawmakers shaping it. He'll serve as a senior advisor to customers working through complex compliance challenges, shape MineOS's privacy strategy narrative for the market, and work cross-functionally to ensure trust is engineered into the platform itself, not layered on after the fact.

Mine transforms how enterprises run privacy operations through a network of autonomous AI agents — from data mapping and DSR automation to vendor risk, AI governance, and consent management. Recognized by G2, Gartner, and Forrester as a category leader, MineOS is trusted by global organizations including Wiz, HelloFresh, Miro, SharkNinja, Selfridges, and Ford. His appointment comes as Mine accelerates its mission to replace manual privacy processes with continuous, autonomous compliance — and signals the company's deepening investment in trust as a strategic differentiator.

“Ron represents exactly the kind of leader Mine needs as we expand our enterprise footprint and engage with privacy professionals globally,” said Kobi Nissan, CEO of Mine. “His real-world experience on the front lines of some of the most complex privacy challenges in consumer technology, combined with his passion for community building and education, makes him uniquely positioned to help us earn and sustain the trust of the market. This role is about more than advocacy — it’s about making trust a core part of how Mine operates.”

De Jesus joins Mine with a career that spans nearly two decades of privacy leadership at some of the world’s most prominent organizations. As the former Chief Privacy Officer at Grindr, he pioneered initiatives to safeguard user privacy within one of the largest social networking platforms for the LGBTQ+ community. Prior to Grindr, he led privacy strategy and operations for all North American brands under Match Group, Inc., including Tinder, PlentyOfFish, OKCupid, Match.com, and Hinge. He has also served as Global Privacy Director at Tapestry, Inc., where he built the company’s global privacy program, and as Global Network Services Privacy Director at American Express. Earlier in his career, he advised Fortune 500 clients across multiple industries as a consultant with PwC and Deloitte.

Most recently, De Jesus served as the industry's first-ever Field Chief Privacy Officer at a leading privacy technology company — a groundbreaking role that placed him at the intersection of practitioner expertise and vendor strategy. It's precisely that experience Mine is looking to harness, bringing De Jesus in to lead its trust and privacy strategy into its next phase of growth.

"Trust is the hardest thing to build in this industry and the easiest thing to lose. The only way to build it is to have actually done the work," said De Jesus. "I've spent my career building programs, navigating regulatory complexity, and advising organizations across nearly every sector. That practitioner depth is what I'm bringing to Mine — paired with thought leadership that actually helps privacy professionals think more clearly about regulation, AI governance, and what good privacy operations look like. And every conversation I have with privacy leaders will feed directly back into how Mine evolves, ensuring the platform stays grounded in the realities practitioners face every day. That's how you build something lasting with customers. Not just a vendor relationship. A trusted one."
